Connection
Ensure the audio system is turned off before making any connections to the
amplifier, speakers or source unit. Failure to do so could result in permanent
damage to the audio system.
Ensure the correct gauge cable is used for all connections; consult the cable
calculator diagram below for the correct gauge cable for your installation.

The above chart shows cable gauges to be used, if no less than a 0.5 volt drop is accept-
able. If aluminium wire is used, the gauges should be of an even larger size to compen-
sate. Cable gauge size calculation takes into account terminal connection resistance.

Ensure ALL other cable connections are
completed before connecting this cable to the
battery. PHOENIX GOLD amplifiers should be
connected directly to the 12v battery terminal
using the appropriate gauge cable. Start at the
3
vehicles battery and run the cable through to
the amplifier. PHOENIX GOLD recommends the
GND
use of rubber grommets when passing any ca-
ble through metal panels to avoid sharp corners
or panels that could cut through the insulation
of the cable. An inline fuse or circuit breaker
MUST be used within 30cm (12") of your battery;
this will prevent the potential
